How To Remember 90% Of Everything You Learn

Whether you’re learning Spanish, a new instrument, or a
new sport, we could all benefit from accelerated learning. But the problem is,
there’s only so much time in the day.

The key to accelerated learning is not just putting
in more hours,

but maximizing the effectiveness of the time
spent learning.

The Bucket And
Water Analogy

Let’s say you were to fill up a bucket with water. Most
buckets should not have any problem retaining the water inside, until
it starts overflowing at the top.

But in reality, this isn’t how our brains function.

In fact, most of the information that enters our brain
leaks out eventually. Instead of looking at our brain’s memory
as a bucket that retains everything, we should treat it for what it is: a
leaking bucket.

While the leaky bucket analogy may sound like a negative
connotation, it’s perfectly normal.

Unless you were born with a photographic memory, our
brains weren’t designed to remember

every fact, information, or experience that we go
through in our lives.

How
To Remember 90% Of Everything You Learn

The development of the Learning Pyramid in the 1960’s —
widely attributed to the

NTL Institute in Bethel, Maine— outlined
how humans learn.

As research shows, it turns out that humans
remember:

5% of what they learn when they’ve learned from a lecture
(i.e. university/college lectures)
10% of what they learn when they’ve learned from reading (i.e. books, articles)
20% of what they learn from audio-visual (i.e. apps, videos)
30% of what they learn when they see a demonstration
50% of what they learn when engaged in a group discussion.
75% of what they learn when they practice what they learned.
90% of what they learn when they use immediately (or teach others)
